LOGAN remains in the running to be dishonoured as Australia's worst town after a social media showdown with Mount Isa.
Mount Isa and Logan were two of eight towns named in the quarter finals of a notorious, tongue-in-cheek Facebook page called Sh** Towns of Australia.
Logan competed against Mount Isa for a spot in the semi-finals and was voted worse than the Isa, otherwise known as Stack City, in a 44 to 56 battle.
Facebook users shared their thoughts on the two towns matching up against each other.
"Having experienced both, Logan for this win definitely," Melissa Trim said.
"It's way more sh** than Mount Isa. Have lived in Isa for 15 years it has its moments of frustration for sure - but it's a bloody awesome place with friendly people and a great community who help each other out which is hard to find these days."
Scanlan Matthew said every crime ever committed happened in Logan every night on Queensland TV.
"Logan all the way! In saying that Mount Isa must have some serious pedigree to be so close in the running," Mr Matthew said.
Others believed Mount Isa was gypped of the win.
"This is rigged," Michael Joyce said.
"The population of Logan is way higher! How can the degenerate Mount Isa miners ever come out on top when we don't have the people take the poll out! I think Mount Isa residents need to stand together and push this vote through. For our town."
Mitch Ell said those voting for Logan had never been to the Isa.
"At least you can leave Logan and be somewhere nice within the hour. When you leave Mount Isa, there is a whole heap of nothing for hours and hours," Mr Ell said.
Mez Peartree touched on the toxicity of both towns.
"Mount Isa is a hot shithole covered in a toxic cloud of industrial smog. Logan is a hot shithole covered in a toxic cloud of meth smoke the winner is crystal clear," Ms Peartree said.
Logan will continue on into the semi-final against Tennant Creek. Meanwhile the second semi final will include Dubbo and Mount Gambier.
The competition chooses its finalists by reviewing towns, compiling weekly lists of the worst news stories from across the nation and publishing hate mail.
